Problem:
I am building a WP theme in Spanish and the default language of the site is Spanish, but some strings added to the code in Spanish are showing the source language as English in WPML > String Translation.
Solution:
This happens because the string was added to the code in a language other than English, you can change the source language of the strings in WPML > String Translation by selecting the string then clicking the "Change language of selected strings" button.
Problem:
Single post type page only works with the plain permalink. Solution:
The custom taxonomy has the same rewrite slug as the post type slug, change it to another slug to fix the issue.
Problem:
The client wants to add a translation inside a variable
Solution:
- First wrap the string in the gettext function like this: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/adding-wpml-translation-inside-a-variable/#post-13172685
- After that, please scan the theme in which you update the code from WPML >> Theme and plugins localization page.
- Go to WPML >> String Translation page and search for that string and add the translation.
A specific post does not show in the translation list in the front end but it is translated.
Solution:
Make sure that the translated posts are not in draft mode.
To do that:
- Go to WordPress Dashboard > Posts
- From the top admin language bar, and change the language to the second language.
- Find the post in question and see if it says DRAFT next to it.
- If yes, hover over that item and click the QUICK EDIT link.
- Change the status to Published and update.
